Attitude

My kid decided to show me how grumpy he was by shifting his teenage weight while being perched upon the (pictured above) miserable product of Chinese design and manufacturing genius. With some obvious and some non-obvious consequences.

The obvious consequences were that the said product, predictably, cracked.

The non-obvious were that he was grounded until the product was fixed.

The latter took him getting some familiarity with woodworking tools, seven layers of paint, a few sanding runs, and lots of time.

I don't think he'll be showing attitude anytime soon.

Doctor, am I eating too much dust?

My guests often ask me in horror - "Are you sure it is safe to run computers in a woodworking shop"???

Confidently, I answer - Absolutely.



Above is the picture of the motherboard that had spent a couple of years in my shop. Below is a picture of someone else's motherboard - with no notion of where it had spent its life. Draw your conclusions.
